Marrying for Threats
episode 361 (S2)
" Why are you yelling?" ziko asked as she sat next to her wife.
" Jesy says Kevin's engagement tomorrow."
" What!" Ziko was shocked now that she was shouting.
" Why should I scream. My dog's sick." Grouser Zira.
" I'm sorry baby, if your ears hurt I'll replace them with elephant ears." Ziko Kayu.
Zira thought about how to cancel the engagement.
" Dear why your forehead is wrinkled. Like just grannies." Ejek Ziko's.
" It's a pity what if the engagement happens, and what about Menik's fate." Zira was confused.
" That's why you have to worry about their business. Indeed I know your avenger soul must be in revolt. There's no way you're ruining the show. If you ruin the show, my good name will be tarnished because of you." Ziko.
Zira can't think clearly, she doesn't know what if Menik knows about
the engagement.
Ziko took his wife to bed. He didn't want his wife to be too dizzy thinking about Menik and Kevin's fate.
In the morning the atmosphere looks calm, the air feels fresh. Vehicle smoke does not pollute the air in the morning.
Kevin had woken up earlier than usual. Madame Paula who was not finished with her cooking was confused by the behavior of her eldest son.
" Why did you wake up so early. Mama hasn't finished cooking breakfast for you." Her mother was confused.
" I've done a lot of work." Said Kevin quickly while drinking coffee that has been made by his mother.
" Vin, you don't embarrass me." Speak to her mother with a sharp look.
Madame Paula can read her son's mind. Kevin was planning to go home late at night. To have that engagement cancelled.
" What does mama mean." Kevin pretended not to understand.
" Mommy invites the neighbors and if you don't attend not only the embarrassed mama but the Jasmin family is also embarrassed. And mama make sure the Jasmin family will hate our family. Mama please very much don't spoil the show tonight." Said his mother while holding Kevin's hand.
Kevin left his house. He did not want to listen to his mother's lecture in the morning. The car is traveling at high speed. He had arrived at Ziko's house early.
Tok to tok.
Zira opened the door to her house.
" Keyl? Why did you come so early? Did you have a picket clean the room today." Zira Goda.
" Can I come in?" ask Kevin.
Zira nodded her head and allowed Kevin to enter.
" Young master is still asleep, you're too early here." Zira.
" Yes I know." Said Kevin leaning his head on the back of the chair.
" Have you eaten yet?"
Kevin shook his head. Zira to the kitchen helps make Inah prepare breakfast.
Kevin left it in the living room by himself. Zira returns to the living room with coffee and wheat bread for Kevin.
" Eat this, to prop up your empty stomach." Say Zira while putting a plate containing wheat bread and a glass containing coffee on the table.
" Thank you, miss." Said Kevin.
Zira sat in front of Kevin, with the boundary of a table between them.
" Vin, your mama invited us to your engagement. Is all that right?" ask Zira.
Kevin nodded his head.
" Do you approve of the engagement?" ask Zira slowly.
Kevin shook his head.
" I don't know what to do. It's clear this engagement was Jasmin's mother and parents' idea." Kevin was upset.
Zira let out her heavy breath.
" What does Miss mean?" kevin was confused.
" Have you ever asked Jasmin how she felt?" ask Zira again.
" Not yet." Kevin replied briefly.
" Courage yourself to ask Jasmin. What feelings he has towards you. Does she include a submissive woman, who follows all her parents' plans." Zira.
" I don't know what kind of woman Jasmin is. Maybe it's because I don't like this matchmaking that I try not to know about her." Answer Kevin.
" It's good that you ask Jasmin that."
" But if he asks what about it?" kevin was confused.
" Surely he will ask that back. Because that's the point." Zira.
" What does Miss mean?" kevin was confused.
" Vin, if he asks about your feelings for her, it's your chance to be honest. Tell me that you love a girl and that girl is waiting for you." Said Zira again.
With a waking face, Ziko sat in the living room.
" What time did you come here?" ask Ziko while yawning.
" Just forty-five minutes sir." Said Kevin while looking at the watch in his hand.
" Yes, finish your bread." Ziko pulled out his wife's hand.
Zira understood her husband's behavior. She had to bathe the baby in a color every morning.
After bathing her big baby, the two of them headed to the dining table and did not forget Zira called Kevin to join them.
Kevin was not eager to eat breakfast.
" Vin, you're such a crybaby anyway. I know you have a problem but don't punish yourself by not eating something. How do you fight for your love, while energy alone has none. All humans have problems called problems. How do we react to it, and you have to react to it with a cold head." Zira.
Kevin didn't listen to his mother's talk. But this morning he couldn't dodge the morning cult of Zira. After getting the cult Kevin started enjoying his breakfast.
After that the car immediately left Zira's residence and headed for the office.

" Jasmin, Kevin can't accompany you to buy a ring, so mama will accompany you." Madame Paula.
" Yes aunt." Jasmin.
They took a taxi to one of the jewelry stores. Madame Paula handed it all over to Jesy. Jesy was waiting for the decorator to finish his job.
" Aunty is it okay if the event at the man's house?" ask Jasmin.
" What's the matter?"
" I heard from some people who work in hospitals. They said the engagement was held at the woman's house. Not at the man's house. With no good reason he said." Jasmin.
" Not good how? Maybe it's tradition and tradition from here. What if the show in the building isn't good either?" ask Miss Paula again.
Jasmin shrugged both of his shoulders. He also does not understand the customs there. They arrived at a jewelry store. A jeweler greeted them kindly.
" Can I help you?" ask one of the officers.
" I'm looking for an engagement ring." Madame Paula.
The female employee led them to a glass display case, which was lined with diamond-encrusted jewelry of different sizes and weights. Jasmin dropped her choice on one diamond ring with a small diamond in the middle.
" Good, fits in your hand." Madame Paula.
Jasmin smiled happily.
" Where is the male candidate?" ask the shop staff.
" My son can't come, much work." Madame Paula.
The officer smiled friendly. Madam Paula paid with the card Kevin gave her. The card is usually used for their daily needs. But that day he used it to buy her a ring. He hopes Kevin likes Jasmin's choice ring.
" Like, many comments and votes thank you."
